Bournemouth v Liverpool: Confirmed line-ups as Ekitike drops to bench
The Reds are aiming to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.
Liverpool will look to stretch their unbeaten run to 14 matches as they visit Bournemouth in the Premier League.
The Reds produced an impressive away performance in midweek as they cruised to a 3-0 win over Marseille in the Champions League.
But they need to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, having been held to a draw by Burnley last time out.
Liverpool needed a late show to see off Bournemouth in reverse fixture, the first game of this Premier League season, as they won a 4-2 thriller at Anfield, though the Cherries may present a less dangerous proposition with Antoine Semenyo now a Manchester City player.
